If they really want a more productive operation, they need to appreciate and pay their pilots.

yes but it appears they will overlap with allegiant, hence my post.

What do you think is going to happen with spirits cost structure?

It will increase but the model itself will always keep costs much lower than a traditional legacy (and not because of pilot compensation).

I see you are trying to now pivot and change the argument. I've been a forum poster for a long time now and recognize this amateur move. You should also know I am nearly always right in my predictions. Ask anyone over in the regional slum area of the forum.

American isn't exactly picking Spirit apart. I would say their recent strategy of selling seats at a loss is more in line with the kamikaze of WW2.

Reference their earnings call where revenue was down 200 million YOY and they attribute it to "competitive capacity increases."

I think I'm right all the time too. I just don't verbalize it. Never had anyone nod and say they agreed.
